69 Camaro parts SS/RS BB, Can you help a Brother ?
 

I am not sure where to start. The thing that was supposed to bring me happiness, my long held Camaro I bought at 18, has become such a burden and disappointment. Perhaps I should wait awhile to ask about these following parts as I am busted paying for my car's body-paint and a new heat pump for the winter and I know these parts will not be cheap. If I can at least secure the pieces (Find them and a commitment to buy w/deposit) and time given to sell off assets to pay I would appreciate very much.
Some here know, and CRG too, I started into a complete restoration of my 69 Camaro about 5 years ago after 36 years of parts scrounging. 1st year went great with me doing the work, disassembling car and the engine build. After much work and 3 years of not finding the "right" body guy, a guy is found only to find him bailing after 8 mos. leaving me with a 1/2 done mess(Dec 14), I went through a 6 mos. depression and did not look at or touch the car. Got a local guy to start on the car in this July. This was a nice unmolested original car that is/was solid with typical Ohio rusted areas. $8k later and still not a stitch of paint on the car! Ok, laugh, but I really got the 'root' and a raw deal.
Now, my worst nightmares are coming true. Many of my prize parts are missing, gone, stolen, misappropriated,lost, whatever.
The list will surely grow, but here is what I need to replace what is lost, so far:

Pic is of the blasted parts while at the body shop.
These missing items were just discovered yesterday. The car was whisked away hurriedly when the body guy bailed and stored at a friends (secure)so, just learning of these problems as I get further into the resto.

I have a lower alternator bracket. PM me if interested. Martin

Re: 69 Camaro parts SS/RS BB, Can you help a Brother ?
 

I can start to help with a NOS battery tray
And when I am home at the end of the month
I will see what else I can dig up
Best wishes
Keep the faith -

Re: 69 Camaro parts SS/RS BB, Can you help a Brother ?
 

Apparently, you guys are not only good for technical help, nostalgic reminiscing, and laughs, but add coming to the help of others in need as well! Thank you to those who have reached out and offered parts and their brotherly love shown through generosity and a willingness to help. My Heart felt thanks, Bentley. List has been updated-= battery tray and lower alt. brkt. have been found (replaced by members).

Re: 69 Camaro parts SS/RS BB, Can you help a Brother ?
 

Bentley I'm not sure if I can offer anything to help (never owned a BB or RS car) but I will see what I can dig up next time I go up to my storage place.

Re: 69 Camaro parts SS/RS BB, Can you help a Brother ?
 

Too kind an offer Tim, but save your self some work until I have exhausted all the State side resources. That endura stuff really steams me. Hard to replace. I kind of feel like George Bailey in &quot;It's a Wonderful Life&quot;. When George was in need friends showed their love by their desire to help. Thanks sYc.
Tim- God Bless
Another pic from a different view. Still need help IDing that rod in the center, next to the RS fender brace Left of brace in lower center of pic. endura braces in RH lower corner. <span style="font-weight: bold">Now, I know what that part is. It is my lower alt. stud and spacer</span> Guess I need this as well. Only OEM please.

Re: 69 Camaro parts SS/RS BB, Can you help a Brother ?
 

I'm thinking that rod, with the nut on it is the power brake booster rod - missing the clevis on the end that mounts to the brake peddle

with out a closer pic.....cant tell.....

your missing still the endura brackets to the bumper - - i see the frame to the endure brackets unless u have them still on the bumper

as sell the end pieces of the endure bumper as well....missing

Re: 69 Camaro parts SS/RS BB, Can you help a Brother ?
 

Eddie I edited my posts. That part I finally ID'd is the lower alternator stud and spacer. I guess I need that now as well. The brake rod on my car is gray Phosphate so I would not have painted that. My bell crank is gray phos. as well.

All endura stuff is missing making me wonder? Did it get eBayed or what? I will look at the bumper tomorrow just to make sure the end pieces are not on there. I am sure they are not on the bumper as I took them off. Anything that was to be black or suede was sent along with the car shell and XT rims to paint shop. Might be in a bag in one of the 2 totes. Thanks again. You are top shelf.

Re: 69 Camaro parts SS/RS BB, Can you help a Brother ?
 

The alt bolt &amp; battery tray are in the pic

Re: 69 Camaro parts SS/RS BB, Can you help a Brother ?
 

Ok, One more time for those a little slow on the Uptake.
A picture (now 2 pictures) show several bead blasted parts that were done at a body shop OVER a YEAR ago.
Now, fast forward to NOW. The 2 totes that were supposed to have all those pieces shown in the totes, when I abruptly and hurriedly had to pick up the car last year in December, for some reason does not have all the pieces. Where are they? Who knows? Yes, I am sad &amp; angry 'cause these are not cheap knock offs, these are the real deal and had been with my car for an amazing 46 years and with one dishonest or careless event, they are now gone.
Picture a puzzle that is missing pieces. Some of the parts shown are NO LONGER THERE. If I had all the parts shown that I used to have, I would be very HAPPY, and NOT posting a WANT AD on sYc. Hopefully noone else will say they see the needed part in the pic. One thing though, the pic proves I did have these pieces and not making up a story. Thanks.

Re: 69 Camaro parts SS/RS BB, Can you help a Brother ?
 

Ok ,I may have an extra set of Endura end brackets

Re: 69 Camaro parts SS/RS BB, Can you help a Brother ?
 

Hey, that would be great. How's things near Vandalia?. Are you going to Chicago MCACN? Hard to express how grateful I am with just words, but thanks very much. PM with price&amp;terme please.

Re: 69 Camaro parts SS/RS BB, Can you help a Brother ?
 

I want to ad, this is no points car, nor am I really interested in trophies. I just want to bring this car back to it's correct, in every aspect, of how it was and keep it as a driver, so parts do not have to be pristine top of the line stuff, just original.

Re: 69 Camaro parts SS/RS BB, Can you help a Brother ?
 

Wow Bentley. I'm very sorry to see this post. I wish you luck with finding those parts and a way to finish up the body. I wish we were closer so I could give you a hand. I remember a lot of those parts going with you in your vehicle with the glass don't I? A few of those parts were also in the trunk of your 69 when we dropped it off at your storage location weren't they? Sorry if I'm rubbing salt in the wound, I'm just trying to remember what I saw for parts when we picked it up and dropped it off.

Re: 69 Camaro parts SS/RS BB, Can you help a Brother ?
 

*Dave, I am trying to remember too. It would be somewhat embarrassing if they showed up and I misplaced them, but right now, all I have is what was in that milk crate, blue tote as far as blasted parts. I went through the stuff looking for my battery tray &amp; it was not there, then panicking, I started to look for everything in the pictures I have. I am going back over to where car is today and grabbing everything there to see what is gone.
If misplaced or stolen, I forgive that person, but I hope their conscience convicts them to come clean.

*Dave helped me get my car last Dec from the body shop.

If I did misplace anything and started this whole search on here for nothing...then maybe it is time for me to get out of this hobby 'cause my choo choo has gone around the bend.

Re: 69 Camaro parts SS/RS BB, Can you help a Brother ?
 

The only thing I specifically remember right now is your cross member. Only because I needed one at the time and you remedied that for me! I'll try to do some thinking on it. Either way, you now need what you need. I wouldn't hold your breath for someone's conscience. Someone that could take advantage of a guy like you doesn't have one. It'll come around for those types eventually. It always does.

Re: 69 Camaro parts SS/RS BB, Can you help a Brother ?
 

Some good, no, GREAT news!! An updated picture of all the parts not accounted for. The body guy helped and now everything EXCEPT <span style="font-weight: bold">[/b]Battery tray &amp; hold down &amp; front center header/latch brace </span> are the only things that are missing and those were sent by Eddie M., Sammy &amp; Scott! Much thanks, and I can close this chapter. Oh yea, whatever happened to those 3 <span style="font-weight: bold">Stolen[b]</span>YES, STOLEN parts? I know, God knows and The Low Life that took them, ALL of us know who it is.https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...outlined_2.jpg

Great news BB.

No, Mike. Never did need. These were all blasted parts to be painted black. The circled parts were missing.
Everything is taken care of now, I believe. Thank you for your inquiry.

Indeed Sammy! Indeed! My sincere thanks to the sYc community, especially the help given. This has been an unnerving event. I may have had nightmares about tragic events with this car, but never believed I would have to live through it. My heart goes out to all I have read about on here who have lost their car to fire/flood/theft &amp; whatever.

This part loss may be no big deal to some, but I have a form of OCD that I remember and replicate every aspect I can when doing mechanical work, even putting fasteners back in the same hole they came out of. It pains me to replace something other than to make repairs or if a bolt/screw etc...is unusable. So, when I know it is not THE original part, unless I deemed that it need replaced, I let that bother me. This car will be technically, a refurbished original with much of it's original aspect as far as wear &amp; tear such as keeping the original interior, shift knob with worn off chrome, pedals that are worn, but replacing the hacked up cluster, carpet, headliner. Extensive body repair/paint/v.top, with as many GM parts as I can afford. So, the car will be a cross between a Survivor/Restored/Day 2. with NOM-basically a mongrel, but MY mongrel from my youth.

Re: 69 Camaro parts SS/RS BB, Can you help a Brother ?
 

Great to hear all is back on track again Bentley

Re: 69 Camaro parts SS/RS BB, Can you help a Brother ?
 

Update! Several misappropriated original &amp; NOS parts, ... $300. Help from sYc friends, Eddie Montini aka enio45 (I owe you bud), Scott aka spooky, [email protected] aka SSSammy Scardino,...PRICELESS!! ALL great guys as many on here, sYc, are also and can attest to these great gentlemen's many contributions to this hobby. Great friendships are priceless. Here are a few of the notes and Scott even sent a very cool bottle opener (he made these) and encouraging words needed during a setback. Again all, Thank you! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...34635-2022.jpg

Re: 69 Camaro parts SS/RS BB, Can you help a Brother ?
 

Do you still need the endura brackets? I think I have a pair that mounts to bumper. You can have them if needed and I find them. I'll go look if you need them. Sorry about your troubles. Everyone on this site is awesome. Let me know what else you need as well as I have a few boxes of leftover parts

What a kind offer and awesome gesture. The brackets have been recovered, thank God! It is nice to know I am not alone in this struggle. I sent everything and I mean EVERYTHING with the car that was to be painted black. I am still going through totes, boxes, crates. Some stuff was not even blasted (not sure why?) but I seem to be missing my radiator shroud bracket <span style="color: #000099">FOUND</span>. Will do more checking and get back, Thank you again for your generosity. Bentley.
